Grandes Symphonies (1744), Nos. 7-12 (Set 2)

Album by Franz Xaver Richter & Helsingin Barokkiorkesteri & Aapo Häkkinen

Grandes Symphonies (1744), Nos. 7-12 (Set 2) is a set of symphonies by Austrian composer Franz Xaver Richter dating from 1744. The works exemplify mid-18th-century orchestral style that bridges Baroque counterpoint and early Classical clarity, featuring concise movements and orchestration favouring strings with occasional winds, and they occupy an early position in Richter's symphonic output that illustrates his role in the pre-Classical Austro‑German tradition.
